CX500 Custom front fender

for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.

CX500 Custom front fender

Post by Rustybux »

Does anyone know if the front chrome fender from a Custom will fit the Silverwing. I hate that plastic fender. I'm sorry for asking so many questions.

Questions are good.

Fender will fit (eventually).

Like Gord said.

I don't know if it will bolt on directly, but anything can be made to fit if you are determined enough and have the right skills.

FWIW, I have a SilverWing fender on my CX650E based machine. The only mod I needed to do was to put 3/8" nuts between the fork brace and the fork and use longer bolts because the SW fender is a bit higher.
